Google's New Keyword Tool is Better

1. The New Keyword Tool Ignores Traffic From Google Search Network PartnersAny search marketer knows the profiles of each search audience (Google.com vs. partners) can vary widely, with differences in cost-per-click (CPC), click-through rate (CTR), conversion rates, baseline ROI, and more. Seasonal fluctuations in these core metrics also show different patterns, at times.
2. You Can Run Search Query Volume Estimates in Any Geographical Market
In the past, how could you do this? Resisting the temptation to calculate search query volumes off of relative country population sizes, you'd probably have to go to a third-party keyword tool -- but then face all kinds of hazards in harmonizing the data to Google's. Never a pretty picture.
3. You Can Estimate Search Traffic on Mobile Devices
Behaviorally speaking, desktop/laptop search and mobile search are two very different animals. Searcher's intent, query language, context, even screen and browser limitations -- these all vary widely from the big screen to the little screen. The keyword [Italian restaurant] garners more than 16 percent of its query volume from mobile devices, compared to 0.2 percent for the keyword [management consultants]. Isn't it about time we had a tool to help quantify mobile search behavior with that kind of precision?
4. New Data Filters Ease the Heavy Lifting of all That Search Query Data
With the old tool, we'd often find a list with a heavy long tail of keywords showing little or no data. Given that Google would limit the output of any list to 200 items, it often took several tries to build a useful seed list of keywords to analyze. Now we can filter by query volume, competition, estimated CPC, etc. And by the way, Google has done away with the 200 keyword limit.
5. Match Type Targeting is More Intuitive, This Time Around
One of the easiest ways to misinterpret data from the old Keyword Tool was to overlook the potential overlaps of search query data inherent in a broad-matched seed list (example: showing [Italian restaurant] and [Italian restaurant Chicago] on the same list). The risk is still apparent, but with simple check boxes in the new version, it's become much easier to control for these potential errors.

How To Use HTML Meta Tags in your content

If only it were so easy. Let's make it clear:
  • Meta tags are not a magic solution.
  • Meta tags are not a magic solution.
  • Meta tags are not a magic solution.
Meta tags have never been a guaranteed way to gain a top ranking on crawler-based search engines. Today, the most valuable feature they offer the web site owner is the ability to control to some degree how their web pages are described by some search engines. They also offer the ability to prevent pages from being indexed at all. This page explores these and other meta tag-related features in more depth.

Meta Tag Overview

What are meta tags? They are information inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. Other than the title tag (explained below), information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, meta information in this area is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what "character set" to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in terms of adult content.
Let's see two common types of meta tags, then we'll discuss exactly how they are used in more depth:

In the example above, you can see the beginning of the page's "head" area as noted by the <HEAD> tag -- it ends at the portion shown as </HEAD>.
